It's harder to quantify, and certainly represents some icky degree of industrialism, but clothes can also just be hope:
A month ago, I pitched an essay about the "perfect" spring-and-summer wardrobe. That essay is a little different now.Author:Maura BranniganUpdated:Apr 6, 2020Original:Apr 6, 2020A little over a month ago, in a different lifetime, on a different planet careening around a different axis, I emailed the team here at Fashionista with an idea for an essay about the "perfect" spring-and-summer wardrobe.
Well, because it's easy to fall for warm weather's romanticism. It's a six-month stretch, give or take, that thrives in otherwise intolerable places like crowded corners and sweaty elbow creases. I could use any number of analogies, but spring is the wind up and summer is the dizzying release, and the fact of the matter is that those are two really fun episodes for which to dress.
So here I am, someone who works heavily adjacent to the fashion and retail industries, staying home and watching that dizzying release fade further and further into nebulousness. Though that vantage point doesn't mean I'm not constantly thinking about what life will be like when, eventually, all this is over.
Truthfully, I've not thought of thoughtful, measured shopping as being self-indulgent until now, when I've redirected some amount of discretionary funds to donations to my local hospital system, where a friend, a gastroenterologist, has been volunteering in makeshift ICUs out of operating rooms and cafeterias.
